LHH Recruitment Solutions has partnered with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization, and they are seeking a motivated Vice President of Procurement to join their team. Seeking a dynamic procurement leader ready to make a transformative impact. This is a unique opportunity to shape procurement strategy, drive cost savings, and lead a small but high-performing team in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Influence the direction of a high-growth, PE-backed company.
  • Work directly with C-suite executives and drive enterprise-wide impact.
  • Competitive compensation and the chance to build something extraordinary.
  • Be part of a culture that values innovation, agility, and results.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Strategic Procurement Leadership : Develop and execute a global sourcing strategy aligned with aggressive growth goals and operational excellence. Champion innovation in supplier engagement, procurement technology, and process optimization.
  • Supplier & Contract Management : Build and nurture long-term partnerships with domestic and international suppliers, especially across key categories such as linens, fleet management, temporary labor, chemicals, and capital equipment. Lead complex negotiations to secure best-in-class terms and mitigate risk.
  • Operational Excellence : Oversee all procurement activities, ensuring seamless integration with operations, finance, and executive leadership. Implement robust procurement policies and leverage digital tools (MS Office, NetSuite preferred) to drive efficiency and transparency.
  • Team Development : Inspire, mentor, and develop a lean team of procurement professionals. Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance.
  • Analytics & Risk Management : Utilize advanced analytics and ERP systems to forecast demand, optimize inventory, and manage working capital. Monitor global market trends and proactively address supply chain risks.
  • Cost Optimization : Identify and deliver significant cost savings while maintaining quality and service standards. Lead value engineering initiatives and track procurement ROI for executive stakeholders.
  • Qualifications and Skills :

  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree a plus.
  • 10+ years of progressive procurement or purchasing experience, including 5+ years in a leadership role managing teams.
  • Proven track record overseeing $60M+ in spend across diverse categories (linens, fleet, temporary labor, chemicals, office / industrial supplies, capital equipment, etc.).
  • Demonstrated expertise sourcing both domestically and internationally, with strong acumen in direct supplier relationships in India, China, Pakistan, and beyond.
  • Exceptional negotiation, decision-making, and project management skills.
  • Experience working in a private equity environment; thrives under pressure and adapts quickly to change.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% (including international supplier visits and plant sites).
  • Proficient in MS Office; NetSuite or similar ERP experience preferred.
  • Industry experience in distribution, manufacturing, or related sectors.
  • Hands-on, "roll up your sleeves" leadership style—comfortable being both tactical and strategic.
  • Compensation Range : $150,000 - $200,000 + 15% Bonus

    Benefits Offered : 3 weeks of vacation, paid sick leave where applicable by state law, Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance Vision Insurance, 401K, and Life Insurance.
